Funny how many people think that the ATF are genuinely trying to help us.  They already know what they want to change...this just gives them an excuse to say "this is what the people want"

So the ATF admits the NFA is unconstitutional and acknowledges that it knows the NFA is unconstitutional? Interesting indeed.

I believe that it's $200 too expensive and one form too many

How about this...



Same background nics check for a tax stamp.  Right there at the dealer, send the paperwork and approval to mother fuckers with 200 bucks and they just crank out the stamps.

The proposed change to the size of the form, i.e., 8.5" x 14" will- not kidding here- act as a deterrent for individuals looking to submit the form.  This is the reason why South Carolina's "no concealed weapons allowed" sign was intentionally required to be bigger than the common 8.5" x 11"... So there would be a psychological and practical barrier impeding the owner of a premises from simply printing one out on presumably available standard printer paper.

Oppose this change to the paper size.

In the course of building a $1k+firearm, and already paying a $200 tax, a $3 pack of 8.5x14" is not a big deal. Most will probably grab a few sheets from work and do it.

Well yeah.

I have read through the debate transcripts on it, what a cluster, and we came pretty darn close to having Handguns be NFA items.

Yeah you know it's bad when they rub it in our face that the law is blatantly unconstitutional and they don't given a shit. Crime control? No we just wanted to discourage legal ownership of entire classes of weapons by law abiding citizens.

The proposed application form changes should expand revenue collection
options, and it could be argued it will facilitate, rather than curtail
transactions.

That is ATF speak meaning it WILL in fact curtail transactions.

8.5" x 14" panic buy of 2013

Going to buy some paper and list it on GunBroker

The requirement of engraving of the Form 1 maker's name on a already manufactured firearm is ridiculous. All of the information to trace the firearm is already present on the gun. Let's say you have a Colt 6920 lower with serial number LE123456 that you want to SBR on a Form 1. Engraving the SBR's maker name doesn't allow the BATF to trace this gun better. The Colt manufacturer markings and already present serial number are plenty sufficient to track this gun in the BATF NFA database, and the Form 1 maker is listed on the approved Form 1.


I would bet the increase in the form paper size is to allow them to include the "Certificate of Compliance" on the Form 1, which is now a separate form that needs to be included with a Form 1 submission.

It is interesting when a major government agency admits that it routinely violates the constitution, and nothing happens.

I don't see them admitting any wrongdoing. I see them hiding behind "history of the law" to justify the decades of extra-constitutional power exerted over the people. IOW, they claim the "spirit" of the law is exactly what they have always done.

Getting rid of the CLEO signature requirement, while also requiring fingerprints, photograph for trusts, IIRC

ETA: Maybe not this particular public comment thing then

If it's anything like what I remember being proposed earlier this year regarding photographing and fingerprinting of all members of the trust/LLC, they can shove that change up their asses.

ETA: That was an earlier proposed change from the beginning of the year.
